Passenger on Ibiza flight blasts 'plane full of English animals' for 'real hell'
A woman has laid into English tourists after she was stuck on a flight to Ibiza with unruly passengers.
The Ibiza resident shared footage of the boisterous Brits online, insisting that they shouldn't have been allowed on the easyJet plane in the first place.
In a no-holds-barred message alongside a video of the packed plane where passengers could be seen banging on luggage compartments above them and yelling 'Come on Ibiza', the Spanish speaker said: "My flight from London to Ibiza was absolutely horrible. I was scared.... a plane full of real English animals!" reports The Mirror.
She added that people were "standing, screaming, guys hitting each other, drinking bottles of alcohol one after the other and stopping the flight attendants from doing their job. Real hell. This video is just the end because I couldn't film what happened during the journey".
"It was a really wild 2.5 hour flight. This shouldn't be allowed," Erika added, saying that those who had drunk too much alcohol should not be allowed on flights.
"We don't want this type of tourism in Ibiza, they should stay at home. I had a very bad time and the flight attendants (were) unable to do anything," she added.
The woman added in comments to a local Ibizan newspaper that she had complained to the flight attendants.
"I'm not afraid of flying because I've flown around the world but I had a panic attack because it was like being in a pub, in a nightclub, but in the air," she continued.
She claimed the two male air stewards and an air stewardess on board had asked some passengers for their documentation, but were met with shouts of 'f** off'.
A spokesperson for easyJet said: "We can confirm that flight EZY2307 from Luton to Ibiza on 16 May was met by police on arrival due to a group of passengers behaving in a disruptive manner. The safety and wellbeing of passengers and crew is always easyJet's priority. Whilst such incidents are rare we take them very seriously and do not tolerate disruptive behaviour onboard."
The footage was posted on Saturday, a day before thousands of people marched in the Canary Islands' cities as part of a new anti-mass tourism protest. Locals in the Balearic Islands, which include Ibiza, are due to stage their protest on June 15.
Over the weekend, fed-up locals made their frustrations clear in the Canary Islands as peak tourism season nears, with an estimated 7,000 people marching through the streets and promenades in Santa Cruz, the capital of Tenerife, alone.
The massive protests have been echoed on each of the territory's six other islands, including Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura, with organisers saying the sun-kissed Spanish islands, which are extremely popular, especially with Irish tourists, "have a limit".
There have been long-running tensions in holiday destinations across Spain due to the pressure large numbers of tourists put on local resources and property prices.

Meet Brendan, the new AI tour guide that promises ‘distinct Dublin wit'
Brendan, an AI-generated snood-wearing young Dubliner with reddish hair, can be accessed by selecting Dublin in the CityMe AI travel guide app. Brendan will offer 'a new way' for visitors to explore Dublin, says Dublin City Council (DCC), by delivering AI-powered audio content about more than 500 cultural and historical sites across the city. Its creators promise to deliver the AI content in a 'warm, locally-inspired storytelling style', which is tailored for each location on the tour. 'This is a novel project for Dublin, where technology and culture intersect to create a unique experience for visitors,' said Nollaig Fahy, smart Tourism Manager at the Dublin City Culture Company. 'With Brendan, we are not only embracing the future of tourism, but also reaffirming our commitment to sustainability, innovation and making cultural access more inclusive than ever.' The AI city guide is currently in a pilot phase for Dublin, joining many other similar digital personalities created by CityMe, like Laia for Barcelona, Charlotte for Paris, and Liam in New York. Later this summer, Brendan will expand to include Spanish as a language option, with plans in motion for an Irish-speaking guide down the line too. Brendan was developed between Dublin City Council and Smart Dublin, in partnership with AI giant OpenAI. Launched in 2016, Smart Dublin is an initiative of the four Dublin local authorities which aims to use technological solutions to improve services and quality of life in the capital. 'We are excited to partner with Smart Dublin to bring this vision to life,' said Guido Schinocca, CityMe AI founder. 'Brendan represents the future of city exploration, blending the latest in AI technology with the rich history and culture of Dublin,' he said. The CityMe app divides Dublin into six tour locations: Stoneybatter/Smithfield, The Liberties, City Centre North/O'Connell Street, Old City/Temple Bar, St Stephen's Green/Portobello and Trinity College/Docklands. When a user clicks on an area, a brief AI-generated audio introduction is given, followed by a map of all the landmarks within that zone. Each landmark gives an audio description of the site and its history, delivered with a Dublin accent, along with a picture. Funded by the Local Democracy Reporting Scheme
